RCB vs MI Highlights IPL 2026: Bhuvneshwar Kumar's last-over six helps RCB pull off last-over thriller, climb to first

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: The innings ends with a whimper rather than the bang MI would have liked. Simply couldn't find the power late on.

167 target. Against Virat Kohli, and a deep RCB batting unit. RCB well ahead at the moment.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Another wicket to cap his night – and it's MI's four main batters too. Tilak tries to scoop, but only gets an edge on it. Sees it rocket into his stumps. SLightly unfortunate, but that's the risk you take.

155/6 with two overs to play.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Has taken him 37 deliveries – he is a player capable of getting a move on but he hasn't really taken the match by the scruff of the neck. Given the bowlers to come, he might have missed his chance.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Strange shot from Will Jacks – can't quite tell where he was trying to hit it there. Ends up catching the inside half of his bat off Shepherd, and floating comfortably into the leg-side for an easy catch. Awkward shot – not what MI needed.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Tilak beginning to look good and will be seeking an explosion in the death overs now. Joined by th epower and quality of Will Jacks to help him in that regard. 200 a possibility if they really find their range.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Bad luck for Naman Dhir! He was finally beginning to motor with a couple of nice shots through the off-side, but this one pitches and stays very low. Rasikh gets the wicket but there's not much Dhir could have done – departs for 47!

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: They have been happy to tick it along but know now that they need to look for 10-12 runs per over from this stage. First Dhir hoicks away Romario, then Tilak slog-sweeps Krunal, a pair of sixes to inject some momentum. More of that needed.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Patient partnership from Tilak and Naman Dhir. Need to accelerate some time soon though. There's too much power in this unit of RCB's. This phase of their bowling is the most targetable.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Could have been bad to worse – should have been bad to worse! Rasikh slow into the surface, awkward checked shot by Tilak. Loops nicely towards Suyash Sharma inside the ring, and that should be a dolly, but he simply can't get hands to it! Astonishing.

53/3 after 6 but it should be worse for MI.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS START?! His opening partner went for 18 but he is on a different surface. Just a touch of movement away froma. tentative SKY, catches a thick edge, and very nicely taken by Kohli at first slip, low to the ground!

RCB are rocking MI in Raipur.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: WHAT A MOMENT! Rohit tentatively pokes at one outside the off stump, and catches a thick edge – well taken by Jitesh!

His stay doesn't last long, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar on top of the world at the moment!

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: 18 off the Hazlewood over, who continues to be expensive! Rohit just barely clears the off-side, then with a pull-shot barely clears square leg on the fence, then sees a top edge fly for six. Tell you what, he wasn't dominating there, but at least the results followed!

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Almost identical to the first ball but this time it carries easily! Soft wicket, chipped back to mid-off, and Rickelton in dangerous form has to walk back early!

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Close call as we get going! Bhuvneshwar up front, coaxes a false shot out of Rickelton, and it nearly loops straight to mid-off! Pitches just short.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: No changes for RCB either.

RCB XI: Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma, Rasikh Salam Dar

Impact: Devdutt Padikkal, Jordan Cox, Mangesh Yadav, Swapnil Singh, Venkatesh Iyer

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: No changes for MI!

MI XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Raj Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar

Impact: Trent Boult, Raghu Sharma, Mayank Rawat, Robin Minz, Shardul Thakur

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Toss goes Rajat Patidar's way, who opts to bowl. Reminder, no Hardik Pandya even today.

Team news next.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: Approaching the toss in Raipur now – a fresh pitch, new IPL venue, and two teams who like chasing. Don't expect any sort of shock decision – in terms of personnel, RCB might look to change something but maybe not likely, while MI have been great tinkerers this season.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: When the teams met at the Wankhede earlier this season, RCB opted to bat first, and proceeded to blaze the ball everywhere to score 240, thanks in large part to Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar. Virat Kohli was slightly slow that day, and knows it could have been much more. In response, MI struggled all the way with a massive chase, but Rutherford added some late gloss in a 18-run loss.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: For the first time in a decade, the city of Raipur welcomes IPL cricket. The new stadium has been in operation since late 2023 and hosted a couple of high-profile white-ball bilateral matches, but how it will suot the IPL is an unknown prospect.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: MI's hypothetical maximum in the table currently sits at 14, which is technically still enough to make the cut for the playoffs. But that could be all over by tonight – a loss would see them on 8 losses, a hypothetical maximum of 12 points. An RCB win would leave 4th place on 13 points, officially ending MI's season.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: RCB have spurned a couple of chances to go clear at the top – a couple of losses has meant that they are involved in the big scrimmage for the playoffs, but a fairly comfortably schedule to close the year means they will fancy their chances. They are on 12 points, two behind SRH and GT, but with a vastly superior net run-rate. They should gun for top tonight.

RCB vs MI LIVE Score: One of the IPL's original rivalries as Mumbai Indians face Royal Challengers Bengaluru, over in Raipur as the IPL caravan makes a pit-stop in Chhattisgarh. RCB could go top and MI could get eliminated – or MI could stay alive and RCB's season could suddenly be in jeopardy. Stay tuned!
